A person who dubs Vocaloid songs into English Music
There was this person on YouTube that sang Japanese Vocaloid songs and dubbed them into English? They also did covers of those already in English.
song made using lumberyard machinery Music
I'm looking for a song that is an example of the trope,"everything is an instrument". The song was made in a lumberyard using the machinery there.
Song similar to Undefeated by Skillet Music
I remember a song who was similar to the beginning of Undefeated by Skillet (https://youtu.be/ZMr93ZZMFmY?t=19
), however, I can't remember its name or any of the actual lyrics. Just that it was very similar to that part.
Mystery riff Music
Can someone tell me where the guitar riff sampled in this song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bmut3whTFXs comes from? I know I've heard it before but can't place it.
Ultimus Tourney Music
It's basically a tournament in which 16 participants (some in teams or duos, other alone) participate in a tournament being ringmesterd by a Polar Bear named "The Baron". Also, the losers get's turned into copies by something called "the white noise".
If you wanna know some more about this, watch this list right here (warning, it's super long though...)

Trying to find song with "On the radio" in the lyrics Music
I've got a line from a song stuck in my head, but I can't remember it. All I can remember is that it had "on the radio" in the lyrics, it was sung by a male voice, and it's not too long ago, but not too recent either. Probably at most, no older than the past 2 decades (I'm reasonably certain it was from the 2000-10 decade, maybe the early 2010-20 decade).
2000s sounding song by female artist Music
I just heard this song. It featured a female-sounding artist singing a 2000s-sounding song, and it in, she sings as the chorus: "I think I had enough. A-wup, a-wup, a-wup." or something like that. There may have been a rapping verse(s).
Song the played in YouTube ads by a band called The Mummies/The Mummys Music
I don't remember the lyrics, but I do remember the music video, which was a You Tube ad I only ever got once. It was by a band The Mummies or The Mummys. I don't think it was Garage Punk band of the same name or the Funk band Here Come the Mummies, but they could have been. They did dress up as stereotypical Egyptian mummies though, like both of those bands.
The music video hand the members of the band singing the song, while different would focus on different parts of there body.

Musical influences in "POLLYANNA: An Animated Earthbound Tribute" Music
This post may not be about some work I only have a vague memory of, but I feel it belongs here anyway.
I'm trying to name the exact musical influences of this fan-made instrumental arrangement of the song "Home Sweet Home" from Earthbound 1994, without much success. All I know is that it's a throwback to rock n' roll from The '80s á la Daryl Hall & John Oates and The Alan Parsons Project, but I'm not sure what kind of rock it is or what other musical genre is involved. If any music buffs here can help me out, I'd be grateful.
EDIT: Holy shit, I just found out the song is from the late 80s, specifically 1989. It was composed by Catherine Warwick, who apparently also composed two more songs for the Mother series.

Old GTA San Andreas video song Music
A long time ago (around 2007-2008), there was a You Tube video of GTA San Andreas motorcycle stunts, in which the background was a hard rock/metal song that repeated "Everybody lose control". The video has since been deleted, but searching for those lyrics doesn't give me any song results (and it's clearly not "Get Ugly" by Jason Derulo), does anyone know which song it is? Thanks for your attention.

Wierd remix of "Yashar" by Cabaret Voltaire Music
I am trying to find a weird remix of the song "Yashar" by Cabaret Voltaire. It was sped up a lot, kind of techno-y, and didn't have the "The seventy billion people of Earth, where are they hiding?" sample from the original. I found it on some obscure (no longer in service) site where you could download songs, so it might have just been something they made themselves, but I'd still like to find it if possible.
Weezer song Music
I only remember the music video for it.
It was basically about the band with a female lead singer being a total diva with the actual singer being her Beleaguered Assistant. Eventually the rest of the band kicks her out and the guy ends up taking her place, the video ends on their merch being modified to add an "R" to the bands' name to get "Weezer".
Alt rock song I've heard on radio in the past Music
I'm looking for this alt rock song I've heard on radio stations in the past. I remember two of the lyrics was "Help somebody" and "Somebody like me", and it was an mostly acoustic song that kinda sounded like something Collective Soul or Stone Temple Pilots would put out. Any clue as to what song I'm talking about?

Song with a chant as a chorus Music
Ok so I'm trying to remember a song I heard on the radio, but I only very vaguely recall it. So for most of it there's a woman singing but when the chorus comes it becomes a man (or group of men) chanting something that sounds like "Slag him off, slag him off, slag him ooooofff" Or similarly "Enough is enough..." The chant voices remind me a bit of the chorus to Tubthumping by Chumbawamba (who do have a song that says "enough is enough..." but sounds totally different.
The song is sort of pop rockish as I recall it. Reminds me of late 90s/early 00s but could be totally wrong on that.
i'd love to find this song. They played it twice in a row when i heard it, but never checked what it was/forgot until now. Thanks in advance!
Song about singing "Freebird" Music
Heard on Dr. Demento in the 1990s and/or early 2000s. A song about singing "Freebird." Male singer with a Guttural Growler voice. I don't think it was Michael PS Hayes. It might have been To the Tune of... something, but it wasn't To the Tune of... "Freebird." It is not any of the "Freebird" examples listed on Iconic Song Request.

Youtube music Music
So, I'm trying to look for an artist of a song I heard long ago, but I don't actually remember the name. I just remember that it was in russian and the youtube video was just an image of some CGI simple shapes. And I think they use it as background music for markets of things like that.

Music from this You-tube video Music
I saw this You-tube video with scenes of Disney villains, and the music from the first half is Night on Bald Mountain, but I do not know the music at 1:14, it sounds so familiar, but I cannot identify the title. Does anyone here know it? Any help would truly be appreciated it. The video is seen here:

Thank you.
A jazzy little piece from the 90s Music
The chorus has been bouncing around in my head on and of for a while. I only remember the ending part of the song but this was in the 90s before Google so here we go. I remember fragments.
- Fragments of lyrics " Maybe you will , maybe you wont" " Spend some time with me "
Dying to find the name of the song.
